A last-minute guide to seeing Rose floats up close, before or after the Rose Parade

You’ve still got a chance to see the floats up close in person, before the parade. Here’s how

For the ultimate up-close experience – aside from actually decorating a float – Sierra Madre Avenue and Washington Boulevard is the place to be post-Rose Parade — and two days, back to back, to boot.

Nearly 70,000 people attend Floatfest every year, offering guests a close-up look at the floats and a chance to interact with float exhibitors. Floatfest will be open Monday, Jan. 2, after the parade, and all day Tuesday, Jan. 3. Shuttles are free and will be available from two Pasadena locations: one at Pasadena City College, 1570 E. Colorado Blvd., with an entrance off Del Mar Boulevard or Bonnie near the corner of Hill Avenue); and the other at Rose Bowl Stadium Lot B, on Monday, Jan. 2 only. Shuttles depart about every five minutes.Once you’re at Floatfest, pick up a brochure with a map of the venue. Water is available for free at three points within the event area.
